So, due to lugging around various mic cables, mics, sound cards and stuff, I've dragged the laptop around in a carry-on with wheels. By chance, the wifi would sometimes start working again, sometimes...

I found a big flatscreen tv someone was giving away. Works in windows, works with the nvidia geforce 650m card, but since that is always running too loud and hot I stick with the intel card. Drivers...

A bit of a radical change, but I think I am going to try out opensuse tumbleweed. I looked more into kde plasma, and like its potential, and then got curious. usb stick is done, see how it goes. if...

All the screenshots I see of conky show it displayed on the actual desktop, which I never look at, I need all that info in the actual panel

Because I am switching to an ssd and will already be spending a fair amount of time getting that working like the setup I have now.

The thing is, I like having a top panel for a quick glance at the weather, time, memory used, status of things like whether my wifi works, etc - I just want it to integrate with whatever program I am...

As much as others have hated Unity, I've greatly preferred it for the past few years. I am currently running 16.04 on a 17" i7 laptop and planning on finally upgrading to an ssd for my main drive...

nope, had to to reboot and while the networks in my area were shortly visible, it crashed again. back to tether for hte moment

system update and stable the rest of the day now. fingers crossed for the morning

just crashed again, same lspci output as in my last messsage

reset the bios, appears to be working normally now, but knocking on wood for a while before i mark this as solved.

$ lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net

willl research bios stuff, but this should spare me having to dissect my laptop, no?

What is the difference between that lspci command and inxi? Using hte latter I got this returned:

Network: Card-1: Qualcomm Atheros Device abcd
bus-ID: 03:00.0 chip-ID: 168c:abcd

oh, dang. The wifi card is pretty buried in this model, so im a bit reluctant to open things up. Do wifi cards work intermittently or do they die slowly? The laptop has been sitting on my table for...

i didnt find one. This is an asus n76, 5 years old. Upon rebooting after looking through the bios, there was no wireless connection. The networking pull-down menu doesnt show anything related to...

booted up ok, then disconnected after a few minutes again.

Things had been stable for so long :(

Wlan works on my android phone, thankfully tethering, too. I started having problems connecting after in sleep mode, updated my stuff through synaptic (all...

So, been a while. We are using ch 4 now, and because of the signal quality, the obvious rf issues persist. I don't really have the money to drop on an AP right now.

An interesting change is that...

Access to the card in my my model is somewhat complicated, so before I get out the screw drivers, does the fact that i get strong signal from other networks make a difference?

cat /etc/rc.local

We've talked about adding another AP or changing the channel. The current AP is aimed as best as possible in my direction. i dont have the hardware password and my roommate is a lil slow to act.

I've brought up the signal quality issue with my roommate before and he said that he went ahead and boosted the signal. Looks like i need to hound him again.

I do live in Germany, so the country...

Ive tried the edits from #8, with the wifi still freezing. In fact, wicd would still indicate that I am connected. I just switched back to nm to see if there will be a difference. at the very...

i cut out the details of the other networks in the area. Before seeing your reply, I also switched to wicd, which also disconnects
